Before facing City, United are set to play Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on July 22 in their first game of the tournament.

On the Dortmund match, Carrick added: "They’re a terrific team who did well in last season's Bundesliga and I’m sure it’ll be a good game for us. Playing against them will allow us, to a certain extent, judge where we’re at.

"It’s difficult to predict exactly what the games will be like because a lot will depend on which players are on display. But we know the games will be tough as we’re talking about two great teams here. I’m sure they will be great games to watch."
